Smooth roads never make good drivers
Smooth seas never make good sailors
Clear Skies never makes good Pilots.
Problem and hassle free Life never makes a strong person
Be Strong enough to accept the challenges of Life
Don't ask Life, "Why Me? . Instead say "Try Me!"

Working Women

Working women here are referred to those who are in paid employment.

With centuries the women has been
rated as less important than men in almost all parts of the world. In fact, in
some ways women’s responsibilities are to look after household and children.
Women are discouraged from pursuing higher education or religious pursuits
because women who engage in such pursuits might neglect their primary duties as
wives and mothers.

Problems:

It is an open truth that working
women have to face problems just by virtue of their being women. Social
attitude considers women fit for certain jobs like nurses, doctors, teachers
the caring and nurturing sectors, secretaries or in assembling jobs-the routine
submissive sectors. The age old belief of male superiority over women creates
several hurdles for women at their place of work. A gender partiality creates
an obstruction at the recruitment stage itself. The inbuilt conviction that
women are capable of less work than men or less efficient than men governs this
injustice of unequal salaries and wages for the same job. Women on the way up
the corporate ladder discover that male colleagues and subordinates often
expect much greater expertise and efficiency from a woman boss than from a male
boss. Conditioned by social and psychological tradition women colleagues too
don’t lend support to their own gender. Working in such conditions unavoidably
put much greater strain on women than what men experience. These problems tend
to make women less eager to progress in their careers. Indeed many of them
choose less demanding jobs for which they may even be over-qualified. A woman’s
work is not merely restricted to paid employment.

Women going to work are often subject to sexual
harassment. The psychological pressure of all this can easily lead to a woman
quitting her job.

Nearly three fourth working women
in cities fail to secure a daily sleeping time of eight hours during a week,
and insomnia among women has become a common disease in cities, according to
survey results.

She has to (almost
always) shoulder the burden of household chores as well. A woman could
still bear up with these problems if she had control over the money she earns.
But in most families even now her salary is handed over to father, husband or in-laws.
So the basic motive for seeking employment of getting independence is nullified
in many women’s case. Problems of gender bias beset women in the industrial
sector.

Solution:

Most of the problems that beset working women are
in reality rooted in the social perspective of the position of women. A
fundamental change is required in the attitudes of the employers, policy
makers, family members and other relatives and the public at large.
